Everyone has a point of view, and the authors who write the histories we study have points of view (POV).
Often times, the prejudices these authors have are put into their writing. Over time and continued studies, these prejudices come to light.
How the reader sees themself or their culture is important in this analysis, as they may be offended by how a written history is posed.
An example of this is how the survivors of Hiroshima view the dropping of the atomic bomb, verses the view of a Corporal in the First Marine Division sitting on Iwo Jima in July of 1945 would write of the same (future) event.
